The Python iterator protocol is intentionally lightweight, so there's no
"append" operation and + is not supported.
But you can call
it = itertools.chain(it, iterator2)
It's not often that I think Ruby's ability to monkey-patch arbitrary
objects including built-ins is a good idea, but the ability to allow
iterator+iterator is *almost* one of those times.
